The practice of automatically provisioning a new environment at the time of deployment is referred to as _____________
Answer options
A
Continuous Integration
B
Continuous Development
C
Infrastructure-as-Code
D
Configuration Management
Correct answer: Infrastructure-as-Code
Explanation
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) is the practice of automatically provisioning and managing infrastructure (servers, networks, databases) through machine-readable configuration files rather than manual processes. This enables automatic environment provisioning at deployment time. CI handles code integration; Configuration Management manages existing system state; 'Continuous Development' is not a standard term.
